Sign Language Faker at Mandela Memorial!

Did you hear about this guy? The man who was providing the sign-language interpretation at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service was faking it! Sign language experts complained that his hand motions were gibberish! A South African Deputy Cabinet minister has apologized to deaf people, and said hiring the man was a mistake. The man says he was hallucinating and hearing voices and that he's sorry. He also says he's receiving treatment for schizophrenia and had an episode.

Maybe they should have hired this little girl! She was signing Christmas songs for her deaf parents at her kindergarten holiday concert! So cute!
